This car was rented to me by enterprise leasing company in the chicagoland area. As I was in the process of making a left turn (west bound) onto a residential street, I had the passenger side front tire break away from the chassis causing me to lose control of the vehicle and hit two parked car. After the collision, I inspected the car and found the passenger-side front tire broken off and positioned 90 degrees (perpendicular) to the car in the wheel well. The hubcap side of the tire was facing backward, relative to the car, broken off from the lower control arm with the frame of the vehicle resting on the street.
Driver lost control of steering while driving down a dirt road. The vehicle crashed into a tree. All airbags went off. The vehicle was un-drivable afterwards. Insurance adjuster and repair facility indicated that the left front strut had come out of it's housing and was likely the cause of the accident. Chrysler has identified this as a recall for 21000 vehicles but has yet to issue a recall notice...updated 03-23-15...updated 04/08/15 updated 10/15/2015 updated 9/28/2017
While making a left turn at 5-10 MPH, the lower control arm suspension broke folding sideways and causing the car to be puller left into a parked car waiting to make a turn. Fortunately it broke at a very low rate of speed. The car had just exited a 60 MPH highway. The body shop stated that Chrysler must have known about the weakness since the replacement part it significantly heavier built (see photo).
